PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is comparison of radiological and clinical outcomes between proximal metatarsal osteotomy and distal chevron osteotomy for the correction of hallux valgus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, we included subjects who underwent the correction of hallux valgus in our institution between March 2001 and August 2006, with a minimum follow-up of 12 months. The group of proximal metatarsal osteotomy was 23 patients (34 feet); the group of distal chevron osteotomy was 20 patients (26 feet). The group of proximal metatarsal osteotomy was composed of 26 severe cases (76.5%) and 8 moderate cases (23.5%); the group of distal chevron osteotomy was composed of 13 severe cases (50.0%) and 13 moderate cases (50.0%). RESULTS: Compared to preoperative values, the hallux valgus angle, the first-second intermetatarsal angle and the distance of first-fifth metatarsal head were significantly decreased in two groups (p<0.05). In each parameter, the hallux valgus angle was decreased 66.3% (proximal metatarsal osteotomy) versus 49.6% (distal chevron osteotomy), which were significant (p=0.037). The first-second intermetatarsal angle and the distance of first-fifth metatarsal head were not significant. Mayo clinic forefoot scoring system (FFSS) score was significantly improved in two groups (p<0.05). The ratio of improvement was not significant (p=0.762). In severe group, hallux valgus angle and the first-second intermetatarsal angle was significantly decreased in proximal metatarsal osteotomy group compared to distal chevron osteotomy group (p<0.05), but the difference of the distance of first-fifth metatarsal head and FFSS score was not significant in both groups. In moderate group, the difference of all parameters was not significant in both groups. CONCLUSION: Although both proximal metatarsal osteotomy and distal chevron osteotomy showed satisfactory result in FFSS, proximal metatarsal osteotomy was more proper operative technique than distal chevron osteotomy in severe group, because of superiority of correction in radiological parameters.

Today, adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC) have gained a great interest in various medical fields due to the characteristics of its self-renewal and multilineage differentiation capacity. The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue is known to contain mesenchymal stem cells and it is obtained by processing the lipoaspirate which is usually collected from tumescent liposuction. In this study, we reviewed the records of patient epidemiology and results of SVF isolation. 30 patients (8 males and 22 females) had been underwent tumescent liposuction between April 2012 and January 2013, and the collected lipoaspirates were processed to isolate SVF in GMP facility in CHA Bundang Medical Center. The average stem cell count per 1 cc of lipoaspirate was 52,252 +/- 26,704 and cell count including red blood cells per 1cc of lipoaspirate was 970,607 +/- 873,436. The stem cell viability was proven to be 84 +/- 4%. Bacteria were not detected in all the SVF samples. Compared to previous reports concerning the yield of SVF, our results coincide well with the results of previous studies. Because there were no domestic report about the yield and viability of SVF, this report may provide a reference value of the Korean SVF for the clinicians who want to use SVF as a therapeutic purpose.

PURPOSE: We assessed the results of open treatment of anterior impingement syndrome of the ankle in elite level soccer players and concomitant injuries were idenfied. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed twenty one elite level soccer players diagnosed with anterior impingement syndrome who underwent open debridement between January 1997 and January 2002. All were men and the mean age at the operation was 21 years (range 16 to 27). The mean follow-up duration was 31 months (13 to 71). Concomitant abnormalities were idenfied through physical examination, bone scan and MRI. On a preoperative lateral radiograph, patients were classified according to McDermott's stage. Anteromedial or anterolateral approach was used at the operation and osteophyte was removed with osteotome and rongeur. When chronic ankle instability was accompanying, we performed Modified Brostrom-Gould procedure and for osteochondral lesion, multiple drilling was applied. The Ogilvie-Harris scoring system was used as a clinical scale to evaluate pain, swelling, stiffness and limitation of activity. The results were scored as excellent (15 to 16 points), good (13 to 14) and otherwise unsatisfactory. The time to return to full activity including sports activity was determined. RESULTS: Eighteen of twenty one patients had an excellent outcome. Three patients were graded unsatisfactory and two of them abandoned their career due to the persistence of residual pain. Concomitant abnormalities were found including twelve cases of chronic ankle instability, three cases of osteochondral lesion and two cases of flexor hallucis longus tendinitis. CONCLUSION: Open debridement was successfully applied to the elite level soccer player with anterior impingement syndrome of the ankle. Considerable coexistence of other abnormalities such as chronic ankle instability may encourage us to consider additional operative procedure.

PURPOSE: Abnormal myocardial perfusion may be caused by ventricular preexcitation, but its location, extent, severity and correlation with accessory pathway (AP) are not established. We evaluated perfusion patterns on myocardial perfusion SPECT and location of AP in patients with WPW (Wolff-Parkinson-White) syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Adenosine Tc-99m MIBI or Tl-201 myocardial perfusion SPECT was performed in 11 patients with WPW syndrome. Perfusion defects (PD) were compared to AP location based on ECG with Fitzpatrick's algorithm or electrophysiologic study and radiofrequency catheter ablation. RESULTS: Patients had atypical chest discomfort or no symptom. Risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) was below 0.1 in 11 patients using the nomogram to estimate the probability of CAD. Coronary angiography was performed in 4 patients (mid-LAD 50% in one, normal in others). In 4 patients, AP localization was done by electrophysiologic study and radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). Small to large extent (11.0 +/- 8.5%, range: 3~35%) and mild to moderate severity (-71 +/- 42.7%, range: -217~-39%) of reversible (n=9) or fixed (n=1) perfusion defects were noted. One patient with right free wall (right lateral) AP showed normal. PD locations were variable following the location of AP. One patient with left lateral wall AP was followed 6 weeks after RFCA and showed significantly decreased PD on SPECT with successful ablation. CONCLUSION: Myocardial perfusion defect showed variable extent, severity and location in patients with WPW syndrome. Abnormal perfusion defect showed in most of all patients, but it did not seem to be correlated specifically with location of accessory pathway and coronary artery disease. Therefore myocardial perfusion SPECT should be interpreted carefully in patients with WPW syndrome.

Journal of Korean Foot and Ankle Society 2004;8(2):149-152
PURPOSE: We assessed the clinical results of modified Brostrom procedure as a revision method after failure of a primary reconstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of seven patients treated with Modified Brostrom procedure after failed lateral ankle ligament reconstruction between 1996 and 2002. Instability symptom developed average 4.7 month after the initial reconstruction surgery at other clinics. All patients had significant functional impairment before surgery and not responded to conservative protocols. Modified Brostrom procedure was applied to all patients. RESULTS: The average follow up was 51 months (18 to 84). Seven of eight patients had clinical stability following revision reconstruction, six patients (75%) returned to their previous functional level. American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scores averaged 87.5. There is no difference in active or passive range of motion of plantar flexion or dorsiflexion when compared to the contralateral ankle. However, three patients were noted to have lost some degree of inversion when compated to contralateral ankle. Two patients had osteochondral lesion and multiple spurs and had pain around the ankle that prevented their full recovery. One patient complained of persistent pain which was considered complex regional pain syndrome. CONCLUSION: Though the outcome of the Modified Brostrom procedure as a method of revision surgery was less satisfactory compared to the results of primary ankle reconstruction, it would be an appropriate option when concomitant abnormalities were not accompanying.

Journal of Korean Foot and Ankle Society 2004;8(2):138-141
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to document the results of fixation with ethibond suture in akin osteotomy and its advantages. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From May 2001 to January 2004, Akin osteotomy was performed in 218 patients. We reviewed 110 patients (114 feet) who were possible radiographic evaluation more than 6 months after operation. 110 feet had hallux valgus and 4 feet had hallux valgus interphalangeus. 105 patients were female and 5 were male. The average age was 43.8 years old (18 to 68 years old). The average follow up was 9 months (6 to 23 months). After performing the Akin osteotomy at 7 mm from the proximal articular surface of the proximal phalanx, one hole is made on either side of the osteotomy site with a K-wire. The passer was passed through the both holes and the ethibond was passed. And then, the ethibond was tied tightly. 2 sutures in 66 feet and 1 suture in 48 feet were made. Radiographic bone union at 6 months follow up was regarded as success and loss of the reduction, nonunion was regarded as failed. RESULTS: In the radiographic evaluation, bony union were made at 6 months follow up in all feet. There was no difference between 2 sutures and 1 suture, and the knots were removed in 3 feet because of skin irritation. CONCLUSION: The fixation of the osteotomy site using suture material was an effective method in Akin osteotomy. The advantage of this procedure was unnecessity of the material removal.

Journal of Korean Foot and Ankle Society 2006;10(1):56-59
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to find out the normal distal tibial articular surface angle in coronal plane in Koreans. This would be helpful as the basic data for ankle reconstruction after trauma or deformity correction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Weight bearing anteroposterior radiographs of 123 normal ankles were reviewed. A line parallel to the shaft of the tibia was made. Another line was drawn parallel to the articular surface of the distal tibia. The superolateral angle that subtended by these two lines was measured. RESULTS: There were 72 males and 51 females. The mean age overall was 35.7 years old. The mean age for males was 31.9 (28~36) years old. The mean age for females was 41.1 (37~45) years old. The mean distal tibial articular surface angle was 90.8 degrees. The mean distal tibial articular surface angle for males was 91.5 degrees and for females 89.9 degrees. CONCLUSION: The mean distal tibial articular surface angle in coronal plane for Koreans is 90.8 degrees. We can avoid the error of the varization at the ankle alignment when the correction was performed vertical or minimal valgus to tibia tuberosity axis in Korean people.
